Not yet. She's spent most of her time in the room I gave her, trying not to socialize with me and the other two. She's eating though, so that's all that counts.
It's not all, no. When the wings are out, it's like I've climbed out of a pond and my teeth are sharper than before. It reminds me of a tale I used to hear as a girl.
Yeah, that sounds right. She'll get used to you. At least you're all quiet. [ And then Tony realizes that Natasha + Clint = 2, not 3. ] Who's the third person you've got living with you?
Could be worse, at least you don't grow a beak. But seriously, I wouldn't fuck with you normally, let alone if you were a swan.
I'm sure you've seen Swan Lake. The ballet, right? It's very much like I've been picked to be the black swan, Odile to the white swan's Odette. Very Russian.
Swan, spider, as long as it's your signature color, I'm sure you'll make it work. But okay, yeah, I'm definitely sensing an element of ironic psychology going on here. Fun.
Russian folklore theme aside, it also works because you're as mean and persistent as a swan.
Can't wait to see you do somersaults with the wings.
Little from column A, little from column B. Dying has a way of keeping you up at night; wanted to at least remind you I keep weird hours if you ever need someone to listen to you at 3am.

And like a swan, if you leave me alone, you're at least marginally safer. Plus, I know about ten different ways to break a man's arm.
So, did you really message me to help you get a manicure, or is this your way of checking in on me?

Thanks, Tony.
